Scandinavian,
No, the video has been withdrawn from Youtube because it contained copyrighted material. We can't find an alternative version anywhere, so unfortunately we can't show you this really nice video. Damn copyright!

Hi Roman, I have been told about you from many anglers. I also tie, steelhead in British Columbia first, now any species globally. Please respond to me as I have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind... Free Canada flies for your time, if you like... Thank you, Have a great day, Cory

Hmm... are there certain arearestrictions for this movie?
This is a fantastic recipe for making cobblers wax! works great and it makes tons, with a nice pine smell. You can make it super tacky. And touch dubbing is as good as wonder wax. Fantastic.
Witz,
It would be easier, yes, but t would also remove the function of the rib, which is to secure the hackle and keep it from breaking. And should it break (to fish' teeth), the rib will keep it in place for a while.
Martin
Wouldn't it be easier/simpler to tie in the mono ribbing before palmering the hackle, rather than afterward? If I'm wrong, why?
January 31, 2011--Hi! It may have taken me a while, but I did catch up with your page, despite the doubt of one of your commenters. Happened as I was researching a piece on Spey and Dee flies, flies I fish often but, I'm ashamed to say, am sadly lacking in background, or more specifically, who originated what patterns and for whom. I want to thank you for your interest in my little book on the hitch and your comprehensive coverage of it. I am grateful. And, yes, I think it is likely I will write a sequel "if the crick don't rise."--All very best--Art Lee
Witz,
I'm using Firefox and I also have a Flash blocker enabled, but I can't recreate what you say you are experiencing... When I click either the video title, the thumbnail or the text "View XXX in full size" I see the video as intended - I just have to enable Flash for the single video with a click.
We absolutely don't want to deceit anybody! Just deliver nice videos...
Martin
OK, I got it figured out; The apparent runaround happens only in the Firefox browser, and only because it doesn't have Adobe Flash Player. I tried it in Internet Explorer, and it works there.
Every video whose teaser I click on ("watch xxx here") just leads to another page of teasers, and again and again and again.
If there's a purpose to this deception, I can't figure out what it is..
Can the Yellows be caught in dams? If so wat bait is used? were do you look for them, close to the edge/shaw or deep in middle of dam?
Wat is the best time to fish?
I stay in the Northwes province Hartbeespoort
This reference will be a good resouce.
The Mustad 3665A is a hook many of my fishing streamers are tied on.
Thanks Alan
I'll be adding lots more over the next few months with what I have. I've still got some holes, but I think i have a decent start to a collection.
I am trying to find a source for white hen pullet capes for dry fly wings down to size #22. Any suggestions?
Joe,
Did you go to school at Montana State University in Bozeman with Mike Smith and Larry Pitman? Damn boy, your famous.Mike would be proud.
Charles - the tail of the Silver Darter is a slip of Silver Pheasant Wing Quill. As Martin says, Bird Fur is a Whiting product and should be orderable anywhere Whiting products are sold.
Nice looking fly, but why use bug bond for the head? I was taught to use varnish as it soaks into the thread wraps and makes the head more solid and durable.
Living there and fishing there for almost 30 years but still searching for the places on that trailer..

Dates for a show in Copenhagen have now been announced; March 17th.
Hope to see some of you guys there.

I am in possession of ten [10] hand tied streamers by Keith Fulsher. New, never used. Does anyone have an idea as to the value of these?
Charles,
It's a Whiting product, so your fly shop should be able to provide it.

I don't think you want to use antron for the shuck. Antron mats when it gets wet. The Craig Mathews invented Sparkle Dun Comparadun calls for using zelon for the trailing shuck.
Love the clouser minnow my 2 favorites are all white with white lead eyes, or chartreuse over white with red lead eyes both have caught many a bass for me.

… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
